VHS tape screening- Christmas cartoon surprise!!!- December 14, 2011

Here's yet another unorthodox VHS screening. I have number of Christmas cartoons on tape that I thought I'd show. The ones that I'd really like to watch are A Charlie Brown Christmas and the Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer stop-motion animation special with Burl Ives.

A couple of more obcure ones I have include Pinocchio's Christmas (also stop motion animation) and Cosmic Christmas, a cartoon about three aliens visiting Earth on Christmas night. These are both incredibly bad, and therefore highly recommended, by me.

Plus, today I found a tape at my parents' house of Christmas cartoons taped off of television in the 80s, so the commercials are even more nostalgic (How the Grinch Stole Christmas is included on this tape), but I'm not sure if it will work on my VCR. It's super old. Anyway, we'll have to discuss what people are interested in. Feel free to comment between now and then. Below are some links to random clips of some these cartoons:

Pinocchio's Christmas (soooo bad): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qbewoHLdhM

Other specials from the taped-from-80s-TV tape include the Looney Tunes Christmas, something called Christmas Bear, The Smurfs Christmas, and more. I haven't watched the whole tape.Of course this is all depending on whether my train arrives on time. Presumably, I'll be getting in town around 6:45, which means I should be back at the house just in time. However, be on the lookout for a text message from me in case of delays.
